Ferguson:
"After dropping two points against Chelsea this was an important game for us.
"I had to make changes because we have got an important Champions League game against Benfica coming up and we couldn't afford injuries and players coming out of the cold to play.
"Cristiano Ronaldo took his goal well and it was a good strike from Patrice Evra as well. He's a good striker of the ball and he's got real enthusiasm.
"We have got players to win games, but need a defensive record that wins titles and it was good to get another clean sheet."
Gary Neville:
"The first goal was the biggest moment in the match because we were not playing particularly well.
"At 1-0 I still felt comfortable because I felt confident we would keep a clean sheet. We have got a good defensive shield in front of us. But we had to win because we have a series of four difficult games ahead of us and the ones against Manchester City and Benfica are absolutely huge. It was at this stage where we dropped points last season."
David Moyes:
"I'm pleased with how we played, especially in the first half.
"There was no shame in how they played and they can leave here with their heads high. We don't feel 3-0 was a fair reflection of the game.
"When you are 2-0 down it is very difficult, but it was important we didn't go to pieces. I'm very disappointed with the way we lost the third goal, which was very poor from our point of view."
